Caption
Nuclear magnetic resonance shows the structure of a natural protein called lanmodulin, which binds rare earth elements with high selectivity and was discovered 5 years ago by Penn State researchers. Researchers recently genetically reprogramed the protein to favor manganese over other common transition metals like iron and copper.
